Yao Shuode

Yao Shuode (fl. 352–412) was a duke and military general of the Later Qin dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. He was the younger brother of Yao Chang and the uncle of Yao Xing. During the early years of Later Qin, Shuode helped his brother in his war against the Former Qin, and later, he became one of the empire's top generals after his nephew ascended the throne. He led several western campaigns, resulting in the annexation of the Western Qin along with the nominal submissions of the four Liangs (Later, Southern, Northern and Western) and Chouchi.
